Linsanbi Recreation Area Introduction
Linshan Cape, known as the "beautiful tip of the northernmost part of Taiwan," stands alongside Baisha Bay, facing Fugui Cape. It was formed 800,000 years ago by the eruption of Zhuzi Volcano from the Datun Volcano Group, creating a cape that extends out to sea. The locals from Demao Village refer to it as "Biwai Bi" or "Biwai Tou," and during the Japanese colonial period, it was renamed "Linshan Cape." The andesite, with developed rock joints, has gradually formed flat wind-eroded surfaces due to years of erosion from ocean waves and the constant assault of sand particles carried by the northeast monsoon, which then sculpted sharp ridges at different angles. This has led to the formation of what is called "wind-ridge stone." Standing and appreciating these massive and uniquely shaped wind-ridge stones, one might feel as if they can hear the conversation between wind and stone, marveling at the profound and enduring strength that comes from the forces of nature. Another treasure of Linshan Cape is the algal reef, a unique geological landscape worth observing. Some algae require stable rocks to grow, and the abundance of andesite naturally makes it the best choice. With the birth and death of algae, generations of growth result in a multi-layered thin limestone algal reef on the surface of the rocks. Additionally, observing the small creatures in the intertidal zone is one of the highlighted activities for visitors to Linshan Cape. By checking the tides in advance and preparing the right equipment, one can enjoy the fun of exploring the tidal zone and easily discover rare natural wonders among the rock crevices. Currently, the "Linshan Cape Recreation Area" has been planned with pedestrian walkways and wooden plank roads, allowing visitors to enjoy the seaside scenery and observe the ecology of tidal flats. It is very suitable for families to visit for outdoor education in nature. Moreover, Linshan Cape Recreation Area is an excellent spot to watch the sunset; when the sunset's afterglow reflects on the mirror-like tidal flats, it becomes exceptionally mysterious and beautiful. In the film "Secret," there is a scene where the male lead escorts the female lead home, which was filmed on the bicycle path in the Linshan Cape Recreation Area. The wooden plank road is approximately 600 meters long, with beautiful views of the sea along the way, especially captivating when the breeze rustles through the Casuarina trees and the sea breeze stirs the silvery waves, attracting many fans to visit.
